The Dynamic Ports global element allows you to bind a free port to a property. It searches for a
free port available and can be narrowed to a specific range.

For example, a dynamic port would look something like this:

```xml
<munit:dynamic-port propertyName="a.dynamic.port"/>
```

And it can be used in the http configuration:

```xml
<http:request-config name="httpRequestConfig">
    <http:request-connection host="localhost" port="${a.dynamic.port}"/>
</http:request-config>
```

Additionally you can set min and max values from where to get the port:

```xml
<munit:dynamic-port propertyName="a.dynamic.port" min="6000" max="7000"/>
```
